Price/Power (0/5)6 icons was the staple for weapon strength for many many years, the fact that this horrible species weapon does not even reach that level is laughable at best.

Countermeasures (0/5)Only blocked by a couple of common items such as the Solar Flare Shield- but with only 5 icons chances are you will have better luck getting through a larger number of other icons.

Alternatives Upgrades or DowngradesJust get yourself a better weapon such as a Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer. It isn't restricted and offers much higher damage output for substantially cheaper.

Other Points

Final ThoughtsI don't see how something being blue is enough to count as icy in this day and age.
